I want to play alot of my windows games after i intall boot camp, and i would like to know if there is a better graphics card for my games that i can put in my mac book, how much it would cost, and how hard it would be to put in myself, or if i should get someone else to do it.
Thanks

Unfortunately the graphics card is part of the logic board and cannot be changed in any laptop.

No, you can't upgrade the graphics in your MacBook. The only way to get a portable Mac with a better graphics card is to buy a MacBook Pro.

some of you with PC laptops that dont have integrated graphics that is!
dont pretend that PCs are the only machines that can do this, an MBP can be upgraded just like any windows laptop in terms of graphics card.. buy any budget laptop and you'll have the same issue, PC or mac

AFAIK MBPs can't be changed either. Much like previous iBooks and PowerBooks which did have dedicated graphics chips but like all Apple laptops are soldered onto the motherboard.
I think he won 
The cheapness of PC laptops attracts me but the Windows logo and the brick like size drives me straight away again.
